My 12 week kitten is obviously quite healthy, running and jumping like a normal kitten. One thing that is a tad weird is that she kind of has a little bit of a hip sway when she walks. I don't mean one of the specialized play walks, I mean her normal walking. My whole family has noticed it. It doesn't seem like a big thing, but we've had other kittens over the years and never noticed this before. I wonder if her general body shape has something to do with it . . . it almost seems like her back section (legs and hindquarters generally) are a tiny bit bigger compared to the rest of her body. This might be imagination, but the sashaying is real, although subtle. All but one of our other cats have been boys, and our other girl cat was a rescued adult, so I'm wondering if its a girl kitten thing.
Only thing I found on the internet was ataxia, which she most definitely does not have. She is not clumsy, and has normal kitten (i.e. high) dexterity.
She goes to the vet in a week for booster shots. We did not have her at her 9 week visit, so she has never been to the vet with us.
